Dunbar High School was opened as a shelter Tuesday, but the Red Cross had issues staffing the facility, resulting in people being turned away and the shelter being closed, a spokeswoman said.

But four other facilities being used as shelters for people in need as a result of Hurricane Irma remained opened as of Tuesday evening.

At 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, three people were at Dunbar High — two young men from California who were staying in a hotel that lost power and a young eight-and-a-half month pregnant woman who was kicked out of a house after she let the bathtub overflow.

They were sitting on the floor up against a wall at the school. There was no food or water available at the shelter.

By Tuesday evening, no residents were being sheltered at the high school, Lee County spokeswoman Betsy Clayton said.

The county began opening shelters last week for people seeking refuge from Irma. Lee County housed more than 32,000 people in 16 shelters from late last week to Monday morning when people began to leave the facilities to see what kind of destruction Irma had left behind.

About 1,000 people were still staying at shelters as of Tuesday morning, Clayton said.

Lee County reduced the number of shelters in operation from 16 to four on Monday evening.

Nancy Gonzalez and her family are among those still staying at a shelter. She doesn't want her toddler son in a house with no air conditioning or electricity and metal storm shutters on the windows.

Gonzalez and her family have been staying at a shelter since the weekend. When they left home Saturday, they headed to Ray V. Pottorf Elementary School. Gonzalez said she, her son and fiancé waited in line for about five hours before getting into the school.

"My baby was crying because I had run out of my bottle water," she said.

But Gonzalez said she can't complain too much about her shelter accommodations.

"It's been good," she said. "They have served us breakfast and lunch."
